Mine's avuee. If you try and say it, it sounds like "a view" with the extra end on the end. I chose that for a reason. My blog is literally a view of how I perceive life. That's why I chose it. And yours?

@auburn: yep family members times 2 over here. Mine is karmatosed as for a long time it's been my username and stems from a semi nickname and old handle I had of aimgel (to the point angel and from my linux irc days) and then to karmatosed aimgel - first blog / type site and then to karmatosed. It fits as I don't hold many 'beliefs' but karma is one of them.

I had to respond to this because I think it's pretty obvious.
It's my name...

peroty came from poetry.
and the first notebook I had when I started writing.
I had it written out like this.
so I just put it together and it became who I am.

well i use the name tofu for just about everything, although recently i've been using just my real name. but the reasoning behind it is as such:
tofu by itself tastes like nothing, its not until you add flavors that the tofu absorbs them and becomes something unique. thats how i am, i absorb everything around me to make me a unique person. from my ethnic background to my views of life to my various skills. gotta keep myself ahead of the rest of the bland lumps of tofu.

Carmody is my last name, and ARC are my full initials. Way back in the day I was on a high school BBS that required that particular naming convention for usernames. It just stuck. I'v recently tried using wepe, which is adam flipped horizontally and vertically.

Last name, first name.
I try to stick with my name for most things. I could never come up with a name clever enough or cool enough so I just keep it real with what my mother and father chose.

Vicky Secret is just just a nickname that I've gotten from a few friends, I thought it sounded cute, so I stuck with it. Of course you know it comes from Victoria's Secret.

Gomeler -> the alias I created about 10 years ago for an email account and text-based MUD, since then I have used it to great an internet-based individual that has ironically transferred back into the real world with people reffering to me in person as Gomes, Gomeler, and Gomez. Funny how things like that happen. As for the actual name Gomeler, there is no secret meaning behind it, it was simply a string of characters I picked out of a page of random characters I mashed out into Word. Creative and unique =)

My nickname slowly evolved from sliver into silvertje. I used to be sliver on IRC twelve years ago but when the name was taken I switched to _sliver_ then _silver_ and then silvertje. -tje indicates small, cute or little in Dutch.

Ah! I wouldn't miss that ever... As a lover of the Tolkien's universe. ^_^

The Hobbit, am I correct, no?
@avuee
My usual nicks are n9986, where 'n' is my initial and 9986 is my birthdate(one of the reasons I like #9, and 9rules!) and other is miniorb which is the English translation of my Hindi name.
dreaming awake comes from the title of a story I had been thinking up and developing. :)
